through the door.

Aiden turns the knob and walks in. I’m ready to lecture Hales on leaving her door unlocked, even though the dorm has security, but Aiden beats me to it. “Ash, what the fuck? Why in the hell was your door unlocked, and why did you just yell for us to come in without checking who it was first?” he asks her angrily, but you can also hear the concern in his voice.

Allison rolls those emerald eyes at him. “Chill out, Ace, don’t go getting your feathers all ruffled. You said you would be here in twenty minutes, and it’s been twenty-two, so I knew it was you. Besides, even if it wasn’t you, I knew you and Liam were on your way.”

“Allison,” Aiden growls.

She walks up to him and gives him a hug. “Relax, Hales and I are fine, nothing is going to happen.” She steps back and turns toward me.

“Hey, Liam,” she says with a smile.

“Hey, you guys ready to go?” I ask her and Hailey, looking back and forth between the two of them. That’s really my only option. If I stare at Allison any longer, I’m going to have huge issues in the land down under that I’ll have to deal with. She’s always gorgeous and tonight is no exception. She isn’t dressed up, and, honestly, I think that’s what makes her so fucking sexy. She’s just Allison, beautiful sexy Allison—who wants more. I shake my head to clear my thoughts.

“Yep, we’re good to go,” Hailey says as she links her arm through mine. She leads us out of the dorm to Aiden’s car.

Hailey looks behind us then leans into me. “She’s really into you,” she says with a smirk.

I raise an eyebrow in question.

“She is, she just doesn’t want to be another notch. I think the two of you would be great together,” she declares as she climbs into the front seat of Aiden’s car.

Aiden and Allison reach the car and discover Hailey has claimed the shotgun position. Aiden shakes his head and laughs. He’s used to her antics. I smile at Allison and shrug my shoulders as if to say, ‘What do you do?’

She laughs and gets in the back seat. I follow suit and immediately I’m aware of how close we are to each other. Her hand rests on the seat mere inches from mine. I want to lace our fingers together. Fuck, if the guys could hear me now, I would so be handing over my man card. I can’t understand why I’m so consumed by this girl. Well, that’s not true. I can still feel her lips on mine, the taste of her on my tongue—fuck, I’m getting hard. I need to think of something else, or this is going to be a long ass night guaranteed to end in a cold shower.

We arrive at the pizza place and, luckily, it isn’t packed yet. We make our way inside, and Hailey tells the hostess we prefer a booth. She grabs Aiden’s arm and drags him with her; he doesn’t seem to mind. Hailey scoots into the booth and pulls Aiden down beside her, which leaves me to sit beside Allison. God, I love my little sister. I motion for Allison to slide in the booth, she does, and as she passes me, her hand brushes mine and I’m full-on hard in an instant. Just like that. A simple touch from this girl, and I have the ability to hammer nails with my cock. I slide in quickly, hoping to hide the evidence of what she does to me.

We all decide to share a pizza and bread sticks. Hailey decides we need a little get to know you session. She thinks it’s a good idea for everyone to learn more about each other. She smiles sweetly at me. I know she’s doing this to help me learn more about Allison. I’ve bugged the shit out of her this week. Conversation flows, and I actually learn a lot about Allison, and she about me, I’m sure. I learn her major is still undeclared and she struggled with going to college to begin with. Her favorite color is purple and her favorite flower is daisies. She loves all music from Nickelback to Taylor Swift. She enjoys scrapbooking, which she said is something she and her gran do together. The more I learn about her, the more I want her. I can’t explain it, and at this point, I’m not sure I want to.
